The program aligns with a Memorandum of Understanding signed between HCCB and TASK, aiming to upskill an additional 10,000 college students by the 2023-24 academic year. The ‘Campus to Corporate’ program endeavors to make college students industry-ready by offering training sessions on soft skills, resume building, interview preparation, and more. It contributes to nurturing talent and fostering a seamless transition from academia to the industry, ensuring the next generation excels in the corporate landscape.
